We are Odoo + DevOps specialists based in Argentina. We design and operate high-performance infrastructure on VPS or Kubernetes with end-to-end proxying, caching, pooling, and observability.
Benefits (UX-centric, load time & iteration)
User Experience and Conversion
- Snappier interactions: click-to-response in 300–700 ms on common views (list/kanban/form) to reduce user friction.
- POS that feels instant during peaks—faster scans, taxes, and discounts with no stalls.
- Stable navigation across many tabs/users: fewer disconnects and session drops.
Faster checkout in e-commerce: lower abandonment due to long waits → conversion uplift.
Speed & Load Times
- Lower p95 latency on critical endpoints (searches, large lists, reports).
- 2–5× faster imports/exports via pooling, indexing, and right-sized batches.
- Shorter “time-to-first-data” for big lists using smart pagination + cache (Redis/Heimdall).
- Read/Write Split (PGCat): offload reads to replicas without slowing primary writes.
Operational Reliability
- Fewer timeouts & MemoryErrors in period closes and heavy reports (worker/memory limits tuned).
- Planned zero-downtime for upgrades/deploys (Kubernetes or well-tuned VPS).
- Fast recovery with verified backups and restore/DR playbooks.
Iteration Speed (DevOps)
- Shorter release cycles: CI/CD pipelines with tests, migrations, environment-based deploys.
- Per-branch previews (feature staging) for feedback in hours, not weeks.
- Safe rollbacks with change windows and measurable guardrails.
Observability & Support
- Actionable dashboards in Grafana (latency, throughput, error rates) + logs/traces in OpenSearch.
- Early warnings (CPU spikes, locks, delayed autovacuum) before users feel pain.
- Load testing with Locust: measured capacity and evidence-based bottleneck fixes.
Cost Efficiency
- Lower CPU/IO per transaction (PgBouncer/Redis/indexing) → more users per server.
- Scale gradually: add read replicas & cache before over-provisioning hardware.
- Predictable spend with SLOs and minimum performance targets per key flow.
One-liners for highlight cards
- −40–70% p95 latency on key views
- 2–5× import/export throughput
- 0 planned downtime on deploys
- MTTR ↓ thanks to metrics + centralized logs
- More users / same hardware

Hardening & Reliability
Verified backups, fast restore, DR plan, resource limits, and endpoint security.
Key stack, explained simply
- PGanalyze: heavy queries, missing indexes, autovacuum insights → fewer seq scans & better plans.
- PgBouncer: transaction/session pooling → thousands of logical conns without overloading Postgres.
- PGCat: read/write split to primary/replicas with tunable consistency → scale reads safely.
- Heimdall (optional, enterprise): smart proxy with query caching → fewer DB hits, faster lists.
- Redis: data cache and Odoo sessions → lighter CPU/DB load and smoother UX.
- Nginx: reverse proxy for HTTP + longpolling, compression and secure headers → efficient delivery.
- Kubernetes: replicas, rolling updates, healthchecks → planned zero-downtime and resilience.
- Grafana + OpenSearch: dashboards, centralized logs, alerts → detect issues before users feel them.
- Locust: simulate spikes, find bottlenecks → measured capacity with evidence.
How we work (4 steps)

- Incident traceability in minutes.
Good vs. Bad Odoo Configuration (What Users Actually Feel)
Area | Well-Configured Odoo | Poorly Configured Odoo |
UX & Latency | Click-to-response ~300–700 ms on common views; POS feels instant even at peak. | 1.5–5 s delays on lists/forms; POS “freezes” on taxes/discounts; frustrated users. |
Concurrency | Hundreds of users stable; sessions don’t drop; no “please try again”. | Random logouts, lost carts/quotes; “database is busy” at peak. |
Reports & Closes | Heavy reports complete reliably; month-end closes predictable. | Timeouts/MemoryErrors; retries; closes spill into business hours. |
Imports/Exports | 2–5× faster with pooling, indexes, batch sizing. | CSV jobs stuck; workers starve the DB; backlogs build. |
Longpolling (chats, bus) | Gevent + dedicated workers keep notifications realtime. | Notifications lag minutes; live features feel “dead”. |
Deploys/Upgrades | Planned zero-downtime; quick rollbacks. | Downtime windows slip; “works on staging, breaks on prod”. |
Observability | Grafana dashboards + OpenSearch logs = MTTR in minutes. | Guesswork; “it’s slow” without evidence; incidents drag on. |
Cost | More users per server; scale with replicas/cache first. | Overprovisioning hides problems; higher bills for same throughput. |
